The Narcissus was still a peaceful ship, but mutual confidence was shaken. Donkin did not conceal his delight. We were dismayed. Then illogical Belfast reproached our nigger with great fury. James Wait, with his elbow on the pillow, choked, gasped out: "Did I ask you to bone the dratted thing? Blow your blamed pie. It has made me worse you little Irish lunatic, you!"
"Grunt, you old nuisance!" muttered Cap'n Ira bitterly. "You don't even know what a dratted, useless thing you be, I swan!" There was a depression in the field. When the heavy spring and fall rains came the water ran down into this sink and stood, sometimes a foot or two deep over several acres.
Want to see?" "No," sighed Graham. "So you mean that wasn't Ozma who talked to me?" "Certainly not!" The Woozy was indignant. "Our dear Queen is not like that at all! I can assure you that you spoke to a hallucination caused by an infusion made out of these dratted weeds!" "Yes, my little square-boxed squiggley!" came the voice of the Witch. "You have assessed the situation very well."
You see," he began all over again, "the dratted Jap propagandist is so smart he's so cunning that he has capitalized the fact that California was the first state to protest against the Japanese invasion.

I think I could manage, somehow, to make a shift with all them dratted things leastways if you was to give me a 'and up with them at the start.

"Now what's the matter?" demanded Aunty Bixby, irritably adding, with an air almost of triumph: "I always did say I hated the dratted things." How the chauffeur managed to get that tire changed the boys never afterward knew.
You come a-shinneyin' up to nine out o' ten men 'long the river like this, an' your purty, coaxin', palaverin' way won't save a feather on you. You'll get the little red heart shot plumb outen your little red body, an' that's what you'll get. It's a dratted shame! An' there's law to protect you, too. They's a good big fine for killin' such as you, but nobody seems to push it.

"But she uses such very odd language for a woman," said Mrs. Trevelyan. Now Mrs. Crocket had certainly "dratted" and "darned" the boy, who wouldn't come as fast as she had wished, and had laughed at Mrs.
Wha make dat dratted fuss under de raff? De water be plash bout so I've see nuffin, 'cepting a big black heap o' someting. Golly! I b'lieve it war de jumbe, de debbil!"
"Can you fancy a schoolmaster going about conjugating baby verbs out of a dratted little spelling-book? No, Quite So has evidently been a a Blest if I can imagine what he 's been!" Whatever John Bladburn had been, he was a lonely man.
